It was the start of summer, and while I had gotten back to some of my old travel patterns, something quintessentially summer was still missing ... and I couldn't shake it. It was a lobster roll.
It’s Road Trip Season and Gas Prices Are Trending Down, According to AAA
11.06.2024 - 16:41 / travelandleisure.com
Summer is here and that means one thing: summer road trips. And luckily, gas prices have been dropping just in time to plan an epic cross-country adventure.
Prices at the pump have been trending down lately, and last week saw the largest weekly drop this year with the national average coming in at just $3.48 per gallon, according to AAA. On Monday, prices dropped even lower to $3.45.
“This drop in pump prices appears to have some sticking power for now,” Andrew Gross, a AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. “More states should see their averages dip below $3 a gallon in the coming weeks.”
Of course, not every state is equal when it comes to low prices. Mississippi is the least expensive state to fill up in with gas averaging just $2.94 per gallon. That was followed by Oklahoma, where gas averaged $2.95 per gallon, and both Arkansas and Texas, where drivers will pay an average of $2.97 per gallon.
On the other end of the spectrum is California, which has the highest prices in the country with an average gallon coming in at $4.93. The next highest is Hawaii, where an average gallon costs $4.75, followed by Washington, where you can get a gallon for an average of $4.41.
In the Northeast, New Hampshire is the cheapest state to fill up in since gas averages $3.38 per gallon, while Pennsylvania is the most expensive with gas averaging $3.67 per gallon.
Lower prices at the pump means it’s easier to take a summer road trip, and there are plenty of incredible routes to choose from, like the road to Hana surrounded by lush cliffs in Maui, the Blue Ridge Parkway through the scenic Great Smoky Mountains, and Florida’s U.S. 1, an overseas highway past breathtakingly blue ocean all the way down to Key West.
If gas prices are too volatile, travelers can also plan a trip in an electric vehicle and can even test it out by renting before committing to buy one.

Father’s Day Gift Guide: Colorful Watches, Japanese Toolboxes and More
Falling as it does in mid-June, Father’s Day coincides with an upswing in outdoor excursions. Whether your dad is into backpacking, fishing or forest bathing, he could probably use a few upgrades for his campfire cooking. Replace his worn-out plastic cooler with one from Oyster, a Norwegian company that launched its gleaming aluminum, vacuum-insulated version last year. The Japanese gear maker Snow Peak has a titanium cup and pot set with thoughtful details: The two items nestle together to save space in a backpack, and the pot’s lid has a silicone tab that won’t get hot, eliminating the need for an oven mitt. (Every ounce counts when you’re carrying your kitchen up a mountain.) To ease his mind around meal planning, gift him a few vegan camp meals from Poe & Co. Folk Foods, founded last year by the California-based chef couple Jamie and Jayson Poe. (She cooked at New York’s Gramercy Tavern, he at the Four Seasons in Santa Barbara.) Their offerings include a black garlic ramen bowl and coconut chickpea stew — all you have to do is pour in a bit of boiling water.
